Those people should feel lucky a super power has come from the land of opportunity to save them from the constant life in the dark ages.

Also, how are we so sure that these poorer countries can solve their own problems without widely effecting that small part of the world. Some times it takes a bigger dude with bigger weapons to stop the 2 little dudes from fighting.

What if the states just stopped caring and closed off borders no one can get in and when you get out you can't come back. And just kept to themselves. I think America does a lot of good but is only remembered for the shit they do, which is always the case. Do a bunch of good acts then one bad act then watch your rep flush down the toilet.

And a lot of these countries are small and actually quite broken, in short they won't see the future without intervention of some sort.
